SALOON TAX.
'It robs New-YOrk City by allowing the tax to go
into tho State Treasury
Yes precisely as every other State tax robs
New-Yorl1 City, and not otherwise. Why not
howl against all the rest Of the State taxes
as robberya Or is it only the tax bearing on
Iquor-sellers and tending to restrict intern
perance that makes you mad
at monstrously unjust, because IT taxes saloon
In NewYork far than In a village in Greene
OF Franklin County"
Yes; precisely as every other State tax Is
monstrously unjust, which allows for the
greater value of city property or greater bulk
of city business. 1t is exactly as unjust as 1T
is to tax Newly City land higher than land
in the Adirondacks. But perhaps you think
Ncw-York Iquor-sellers ought to be treated
more favorably than nero New-York real

Why? II leaves them every dollar they get

railroads, whose request for a suspen-
sion of the long-and- shOrt-haul clause
has been ignored. The Commissioner
practically says that the Southern roads
got the suspension asked for while the North
ern roads did not. because it was necessary for
the Commission to have some opportunities for
comparison which it would not have been
possible to obtain if the law had been
put in operation all over the country at once
This is frank and ingenious; but the managers
of Northern roads, kind-hearted philanthro-
pists though many of them be, will hardly
relish being transformed into conspicuous
examples of wreck and ruin for the sake OF
ANYBODY, North or South.

the Prince of Wales visited Canada in 1860

anxious TO impart to his reception factional

warned that nothing OF the kind would be

The reputation Of the Assembly viii not
suffer for having rejected the bill to revive
the cable railway by vote of 1o4 to 10.
There has been a lot of curious business about
the measure, especially since it left the Senate,
which was we'll calculated to rouse suspicion.
Words and phrases that had carefully been
struck out kept getting in again in most
mysterious manner. But aside from these OBJ
jections, the fact is that the residents OF New.
York do not want to see sevcnty-six miles Of
their streets, good and bad, broad and narrow,
placed in the hands of any one corporation.
A cable railway may be very good thing
if YOU don't get too much OF it.
